Massage for optimal health
Advanced massage in Storrington. Review by Lindsey Taylor Storrington based Richings Health, launched by Jessie Anderson (pictured left) in the Summer of 2019, couldn’t be better placed for a relaxing treatment being situated at the foot of the beautiful South Downs National Park. Jessie has over 15 years experience in clinics in London and Kent offering advanced massage. She has BSc Hons degree in Sports Rehabilitation and an ITEC qualification in Aromatherapy. Jessie also taught a number of postgraduate courses in massage. I was warmly welcomed and shown to the inviting, purpose-built treatment room with the most stunning and peaceful views across the downs. I’ve experienced many massages before but wasn’t familiar with the term ‘advanced’ massage so was keen to find out more. Jessie said the quality of her treatments and the experience make hers stand out from the rest and she considers her treatments to be the ‘Ferrari’ of massages. Jessie believes massage is much more than a luxury and should be part of everyone’s lifestyle to maintain both physical and emotional health. Massage has a positive impact on every system of the body and can
particularly help those who play sport, are pregnant, suffer from aches and pains, depression and anxiety. Jessie carried out a short health consultation and explained how she uses this information to tailor the treatment to the client’s specific needs. She also highlighted a benefit of working for herself in that she can be flexible and always builds in a little extra time between clients.
Notepad away it was time for me to experience an ‘advanced’ massage. The next 60 minutes can only be described as pure bliss as Jessie used a variety of techniques to ease away the tension and knots in my shoulders. Jessie encouraged me not speak so I could achieve really deep relaxation and she periodically checked the pressure was comfortable. Jessie’s massage skills are incredible and her passion and knowledge on the subject inspiring. I left Richings Health feeling totally relaxed and revived and continued to reap the benefits for days to come with a sense of inner calm and balance. Don’t just take my word for it, there are many glowing reviews on www.richingshealth.com Jessie is offering £20 off a first treatment, quote “Sussex Local” and book by 31st May 2020 Tel: 07737 070612
